Warmth and insulation: Icy conditions ahead? MTEs are a great choice. You can even go for a style with extra insulation. Designed to trap heat while blocking out the cold air, they’re the perfect choice when the temperatures start to plummet.

Breathability: Make sweaty feet a thing of the past. Even though MTE shoes are built for tough conditions, they’re still breathable. This makes them awesome all-season shoes.

Skate-ready style meets high-performance: Great protection meets a classic Vans sneaker look and more with the MTE range. So whether you’re looking for Sk8-Hi, UltraRange, Crosspath or something else to get you all set for the elements, the Vans MTE range has what you need.

Are Vans MTE warm?

Absolutely. Vans MTE shoes are totally designed to keep your feet warm. The MTE tech traps heat inside while keeping the cold out, so you’re protected when temperatures drop. Depending on the model, you can even get extra insulation.

To get it right, we’ve put 20 years’ worth of experience to work, creating snow boots and our latest innovations, including our MTE 360 technology. This focuses on making the whole of the shoe as comfortable as possible, with water-resistant upper linings and durable lugged outsoles that will keep your feet warm and dry for longer.

Can You Wear Vans MTE in Summer?

Vans MTEs are great all-weather shoes. In summer, they offer protection and breathability without overheating your feet, making them a great option if you’re going hiking or just need a trusty pair of shoes for the outdoors.

Want to stay ultra-cool when the weather heats up? Opt for the lighter, more breathable styles in the MTE range, designed to offer great protection and grip, while still keeping your feet cool.

Are MTE Vans Good for Winter?

For sure. Vans MTE shoes are built for winter. With top-notch insulation and waterproofing, you’re covered even on the snowiest or rainiest days. The thermal design keeps your feet warm, while the waterproof exterior makes sure no snow or water gets in. Plus, the outsoles are designed to give you extra grip on slippery surfaces – super helpful for those icy days.

Are Vans MTE Waterproof?

Yes, but it depends on the model. Vans MTE shoes come with varying levels of water protection – some are fully waterproof, while others are water-resistant or water-repellent.

Tackling extreme conditions? Look no further. The fully waterproof MTEs can handle heavy rain or snow.

Milder weather? The water-resistant models can handle lighter rain or damp conditions but aren’t built for being soaked for long periods, so check the specs.
